Red scales? rash? help?!
Hello, I'm new here. I have a 7 month old female ball python and she's got what looks like a rash on her belly.
She had a bad shed so today I soaked her in the tub and helped remove some skin. But, now she has some kind of rash or red marks on her belly scales? I put neosporin on it but the local vet isn't in today to call.
The guy at petco said it looked like it might be some kinda fungal infection?
So... what exactly caused this and are there any other over the counter meds I can give her till I get ahold of a vet?
thanks!

Re: Red scales? rash? help?!
Without pictures, it sounds like scale rot. I don't think there is anything over the counter that will cure it. Get it into your herp ver, and in the meantime make sure the enclosure is disinfected and the bedding is dry. Might want to switch to newspaper or paper towels until you get through this.
